On 3 October, شفقنا العراق reported that passage of the 18-article PMF bill depended on substantial amendments to contentious provisions to secure agreement among political blocs, ahead of a first reading by parliament’s Security and Defence Committee. It described submission to parliament as expected within days, while العين الإخبارية reported that the cabinet had approved referral the previous week.

“Passage of the law, consisting of 18 articles, depends on substantial amendments to some contentious provisions to secure national agreement among the different blocs, ahead of referring it to parliament’s Security and Defence Committee for the first reading.”
تمرير القانون، المكون من 18 مادة، يتوقف على إجراء تعديلات جوهرية على بعض فقراته الخلافية لضمان تحقيق توافق وطني بين الكتل المختلفة، تمهيداً لإحالته إلى لجنة الأمن والدفاع النيابية لإجراء القراءة الأولى
شفقنا العراق distinguishes approval by the cabinet from agreement among parliamentary blocs: its account makes amendments a condition of passage rather than treating referral as sufficient.
